Fu Peng Tong has a total of thirteen sons, of which the ninth elder brother Chengming is seventeen years old, and his biological mother is only one of Fu Peng's concubines. The eldest sister Yingrong of the former elder sister of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info also entered the palace and asked to marry this concubine. The eldest sister Tete ran this time, also because Chengming lost his mother since he was a child, and Yingrong saw him pitiful, so he hugged him to his knees to raise him. Although he is not as good as his own Qingming, Yingrong also treats him as half a son.

"Chengming?" Hongli groaned slightly.

Hao Ming smiled and said: "Although the kid doesn't have a knighthood yet, the eldest sister told me that reading, riding, and shooting are not bad, and it is no longer a problem to pass the examination." "--The education in the Pingjun Mansion is still good, and the adult concubines in front of them have all passed the examination, and there is no reason to be honest and clear.

All concubines below the prince and over the age of 20 are required to participate in the assessment of the Zongren Palace. The test is in three courses: translation (translating Manchu and Mongolian), mounted archery, and eight strands. The results are divided into excellent, average, and inferior grades. Those who are all excellent will be knighted. Those who are two excellent and one equal, will be reduced to one grade, one excellent and two equal, two excellent and one inferior, will be reduced to two grades, three equals, one excellent, one flat and one inferior, and one inferior will be reduced to three grades, and those who are one superior and two inferior, two equals and one inferior, one flat and two inferior and all inferior will be suspended.

It's a bit complicated to say, but in short, they are all minor titles that are less than eight points.

In terms of the king of the county alone, the eldest son of the concubine is the lord, and the due lord of the rest of the concubines is the Duke of the Auxiliary State, the due lord of the side room is not included in the eight-point Auxiliary Prince, and the concubine is the general of the Zhenguo. Of course, the premise is that you have to be fully qualified in order to get the title you deserve.

However, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there has never been such a promising son of the clan.

Take Chengming as an example, if he is all excellent, the title is the general of Zhenguo. If there are two excellent and one equal, one rank is lowered, it is a first-class Feng'en general; if one is excellent and two equals or two excellent and one is inferior, then it is demoted to two ranks, that is, a second-class Feng'en general; if there are three equals or one excellent, one level and one inferior, then the third-class Feng'en general will be knighted.

To put it simply, the better the test score, the higher the knighthood. The assessment results are divided into five classes, the first four classes are considered qualified, and the fifth class is directly suspended.

This kind of examination and sealing system has greatly reduced the number of children of the princely family, so that it will not be like the Ming Dynasty, where the princes are overflowing, making the treasury unbearable to pay such a huge amount of money. In the Qing Dynasty, even the princes had to study and practice martial arts to get a low-level title, let alone others.

Therefore, there has long been a large flock of yellow belts without titles, carrying cages and racking birds all day long, doing nothing.

The next day, Duchess Zhilan of Cheng'en hurriedly handed over the sign and entered the palace.

"Niangniang, did Zhao Juan do something wrong? Originally, it was a good thing to promise the fourteenth elder brother to be a side blessing, why did he suddenly change it?" Zhilan had a mixture of sadness and resentment on her face. The old man was cheeky and begged the emperor, and the emperor agreed. But in a blink of an eye, the emperor said again, the queen did not allow it, and this matter was forgotten, and Zhaojuan would be assigned another marriage. So the master asked her to go into the palace to ask what was going on.

Hao Ming sighed lightly and said, "Sister-in-law, is it half good for you to give Zhaowan to Ju'er?"

Zhilan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What does this mean, master?"

Hao Ming said lightly: "Literally! Zhao Juan is not your own after all, if she is glorious and respected in the future, are you willing to kowtow to her in turn?"

Zhilan was not stupid, and immediately understood the meaning of the humming. The fourteenth elder brother is destined to inherit the unification in the future, even if Zhaojuan gives him a side blessing, he will at least be a concubine in the future, if there is something, it is not impossible to be a concubine. If there really is that day, she will indeed have to kowtow to the concubine in turn.

Thinking of this, Zhilan calmed down, but showed a little embarrassment: "But, this is what the master meant...... Zhilan is a woman with three obedience and four virtues, and she dare not disobey her husband's wishes.

Ming glanced lightly and said, "I know what he means." The Nalan family is already a descendant, but my brother is still not satisfied, and he wants the Nalan family to have another queen!"

Zhilan was excited, and hurriedly said: "Master doesn't mean that, I just want to kiss and kiss, I just want to give Zhaowan to the fourteenth elder brother as a side blessing." ”

Humming laughed "sneering", "My own brother, I know very well! My sister-in-law doesn't have to cover it up for him!" -- Zhao Juan is a concubine, so naturally he can only be a side room. But Xiu Qi means that he never wants his daughter to be a side room forever. She was promoted from a concubine to a queen, which shows that being on the side may not have a chance to seize the position of the main room.

But in that case, Ju'er's backyard will never be peaceful.

She felt sorry for her son, and she didn't want to fall into a dilemma in the future.

"You just have to tell him, I don't agree with this, let him die of this heart!" said Ming with a cold face.

Zhilan's heart was full of entanglement, so she said: "But Zhaowan and the fourteenth elder brother have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. ”

She didn't see that Yongju liked Zhaowan at all, as for Zhaowan...... It's just an unassertive girl.

Hao Ming said: "I have already asked someone to send Zhao Wan over, just ask in person when the time comes." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Wenzi came in and reported: "Master, Niangniang, the five grids have arrived." "Zhaowan is the fifth daughter of Xiuqi, so it is the fifth grid of the Nalan family.

Now fifteen-year-old Zhaojuan, she is slim and elegant, more elegant and delicate, but her demeanor is still a little timid. He was wearing a water-pink twined lotus flag suit, hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed to ask for peace: "Master Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." ”

Hao Ming didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "Zhaoxuan, this palace plans to marry you to the ninth elder brother Chengming of the Pingjun Palace, are you willing?!"

Hearing this, Zhao Juan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but hurriedly go to see his mother-in-law, Duchess Cheng'en, Zhilan.

Zhilan pulled out a smile and said, "Whatever you think in your heart, you can answer." ”

Zhao Wan lowered his head: "I...... I ......" she bit her lip, her eyes full of confusion.

Hao Ming continued: "Chengming is seventeen years old this year, he is good at reading, riding and shooting, and it is also a sure thing to pass the examination. His character and appearance are not bad, and the mother-in-law above is your aunt's aunt, and she is the wife of the main family when she marries, so you don't have to worry about being bullied. ”

Hearing these words, Zhaojuan's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said: "It's okay to ask the mother to be the master, Zhaowan has no objections." ”

Hao Ming smiled, Zhao Ju was arranged by Xiu Qi to meet Ju'er, and they really didn't have any feelings for each other. Zhaoxiu, the sister of Zhaowan's mother, is also married to an ordinary clan, and her life is good, and the husband and wife are harmonious. Zhao Juan saw it in his eyes, how could he not be envious?

Ju'er is a prince, and he is indeed much more noble than the children of ordinary clans, but the premise is that he can be his concubine. Being a side Fujin is just a better name, and Ju'er is going to marry Fujin this year, and in the face of a big woman, life will definitely be difficult.

Zhaowan doesn't have that much ambition, she just wants to be like her sister, and she is like her husband.

What's more, Zhaojuan has seen Chengming, although Chengming was not born to her aunt's mother, but she is also her cousin, and he is friendly and approachable, and he will not make her feel unattainable like the fourteenth elder brother.

Zhaowan herself nodded, and Zhilan didn't say anything more.

He was afraid that his brother would make some trouble again, so he let Hongli make the will to marry early.

In this way, a matter of heart is over, and she can choose a daughter-in-law with peace of mind. (To be continued.) )
